I once thought about trying to do some proper re-conned Oscan in aid of a historical novel concept set in early Paestum -- though I never did anything with the idea, as I didn't feel I really knew enough proper historical and archaeological detail to make it fly!
I do incorporate some Oscan influence in one of my "alternative Italic" conlangs, Ausonic. It's a "P-Italic" dialect, for example, and I nicked some bits of Oscan vocabulary (from Buck's old book, of which I have the cheap modern reprint :)) as well.
